Uh-oh, looks like the Bish is headed to a German jail. Spending years and years in solitary confinement will give the Bishop plenty of time to think over his transgression of wanting to seek out truths and think for himself!
Vatican says Holocaust-denying bishop’s apology not enough for entry as prelate into church
NICOLE WINFIELD February 27, 2009
VATICAN CITY – An apology from a bishop who denied the Holocaust wasn’t good enough, the Vatican said Friday, adding that he must repudiate his views if he wants to be a Roman Catholic clergyman.
The statement by Bishop Richard Williamson “doesn’t appear to respect the conditions” the Vatican set out for him, said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, a spokesman for the pope.
In an interview broadcast last month on Swedish state TV and in previous letters and speeches, Williamson denied 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, saying about 200,000 or 300,000 were murdered. He said none was gassed.
Williamson apologized for his remarks on Thursday upon his arrival in his native Britain after being ordered to leave Argentina. He said he would never have made them if he had known “the full harm and hurt to which they would give rise.”
But he didn’t say he had been wrong or that he no longer believed what he had said.
On Friday, German Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries said Germany could issue a European-wide arrest warrant on hate crimes charges for Williamson since the Swedish TV interview was conducted in Germany.
State prosecutors in Regensburg, Germany, have opened a preliminary investigation into whether Williamson broke German laws against Holocaust denial.
Tossing the Bishop into jail for six or seven years will be his punishment for Thought Crime violations, saith the High Priests protecting the Holocaust™ religion.
